Both Sides Of The Story Lyrics - Both Sides - Phil Collins

'Though we might hate to admit it, there are always two sides to every story...' 

Find yourself in the gutter in a lonely part of town 

where death waits in the darkness with a weapon to cut some stranger down 

sleeping with an empty bottle, he's a sad and an empty hearted man 

all he needs is a job, and a little respect, so he can get out while he can 

We always need to hear both sides of the story 

A neighbourhood peace is shattered it's the middle of the night 

young faces hide in the shadows, while they watch their mother and father fight 

he says she's been unfaithful, she says her love for him has gone 

and the brother shrugs to his sister and says "looks like it's just us from now on"

We always need to hear both sides of the story 

And the lights are all on, the world is watching now 

people looking for truth, we must not fail them now 

be sure, before we close our eyes 

don't walk away from here 

'til you hear both sides 

Here we are all gathered in what seems to be the centre of the storm 

neighbours once friendly now stand each side of the line that has been drawn 

they've been fighting here for years, but now there's killing on the streets 

while small coffins are lined up sadly, now united in defeat 

We always need to hear both sides of the story

And the lights are all on, the world is watching now 

people looking for truth, we must not fail them now 

be sure, before we close our eyes 

don't walk away from here 

'til you see both sides 

White man turns the corner, finds himself within a different world 

ghetto kid grabs his shoulder, throws him up against the wall 

he says "would you respect me if I didn't have this gun 

'cos without it, I don't get it, and that's why I carry one" 

We always need to hear both sides of the story
